Starting in 2016, Clasper traveled through the U.S. seeking the sites of lynchings. “I took a different approach and focused on the spaces to encourage people to look at this history from an altered perspective,” Clasper says.“We’ve become desensitized to images of violence. But everything that happens has to happen somewhere.”
